[the slight smile grows into an outright beam, every inch of him radiating a mix of gratitude and delight (heavily favoring the latter, admittedly, but one had to take what one could get). even if Ed called it bulky.]
Yeah! Thanks! [and -] So how d'you use it?
[--- watch your head, blond bro. the business end of the spear may be missing it by a few scant inches as Hinata tries to turn it around and get a better grip.]
[ That sure is a pointy-end coming directly toward him. Ed ducks and it narrowly misses that precious ahoge of his by a centimeter. ] Hey! Watch it!
[ Looking irritated now. But when is he not? ] First, you need to keep yourself aware of the damned bladed-end. Otherwise, you could end up poking someone you know in the eye!
[with a sheepish smile, spear returned to a safe upright position. for the immediate moments after, however, he just beams dumbly at Ed and the spear both. as though this weren't about learning how to use a weapon for the express purpose of maiming another creature.]
[after a few minutes thereof---]
Oh!
[blink.]
Would you have anything to spare to make some flowers...?
FROM: farrow.ryan@cdc.org SUBJECT: TEAM MEETUP? [this is a mass text]
So, some of you guys remember the pillow hole on Ajna... and now we have a ball pit. And blankets, and giant pillows, and I'm sure you see where I'm going with this, right? New recruits obviously weren't there, and given that some of you were also dead at the time, I think it's time we had a repeat.
Tomorrow at 15:00, assemble at the Rec Wing for a team get-together (unless you hate both fun and being comfortable, in which case-- well, I don't know what to tell you, actually.) There will be pillow and blanket forts, along with a team viewing of The Nightmare Before Christmas because I'm biased. We'll call it Earth media education.
And for seniors: Animal pajamas are not optional. I reserve the right to frown severely at you and possibly throw some of the ball pit's balls at your head when you're not looking.
Hopefully we'll see you there!
[ooc note: more info on this is available here if you haven't seen it! it is not at all a required meeting, just something put together for team bonding round 2. there will be a log posted on the 14th in the main log comm!]
